Profitable Content
By Syd Johnson
You can create profitable content in 2 hours or less
Everyone knows that the best way to get a high ranking on the search engines is to create a lot of keyword rich
content. You can write the articles on your own--in fact, if you write one article per day, you will have over 300
articles by the end of the year.
That’s enough to get your high google page rank because of the sheer volume of pages, and because it is original and
not recycled content. The search engines are attracted by the fresh content, and will send over more unique traffic
to your website.
More unique visitors will translate in more online sales.
So what are some quick techniques for generating content?
1. Publish your blog to your website.
If you are a regular blogger, use your ftp program to publish the content directly to a page on your site. It’s a
really quick way to add pages of extra content for your next search engine update. In addition to your own postings,
there are comments from site visitors which help to boost the average page content to anywhere from a few hundred, to
a few thousand new words added per day. As long as you have adequate incoming links, the search engines will find
you, re-index the site and update accordingly.
2. Questions and Answers
As you get questions via email, create updated answers and put them on a few Q & A pages. You can also expand the
questions and the answers to full length articles that you can post on your site, or post one of online article
directories. One article on the right directory can give you hundreds and possibly thousands of new incoming links.
3. Edit Old copy
Take out some of your older articles. If there are any topics that you rushed through, now is the time to expand it.
For example, if you created an article with 10 ways to do something, expand each suggestion into its own full length
article. You already have knowledge of the topic and so you can easily create 10 new pages for your website.
4. Buy packages with resale rights
But, don’t just turn around and resell the items. Instead, read through the content, and add your own special touch.
Rewrite the table of contents, create a new overview, expand on a certain area and add extra pages, add new links and
resources, software tools and more. This will make your package dramatically different from all others that bought
the package and simply expected to make a sale with no effort.
If you buy a package with resale rights to post it online, use your basic design skills to reformat the content and
change a 100% recycled product into a 50% unique product. It gives you a marketing edge and also creates excellent
copy for the search engines.
5. Repackage old content into ebooks
Take all of your old ezines and articles from the past two years. Update the information, add new links and turn it
into and ebook. Then offer the ebook for sale on your site or on a service like Clickbank. Ebooks are very popular,
require no warehousing and are incredibly profitable. You can do the copywriting, design and actual ebook creation
all on your own for under $100. Give it a try and you’ll be surprised at the results.
6. Hire a ghost writer
Go to some of the freelance boards and put your projects up for bid. I have heard of articles being sold for as little
as $20 for a complete, professionally written article by a freelancer. This is probably the fastest way to create
original, profitable content for anyone who is not a writer and doesn’t trust their own writing skills.
These are just a few tips to get you started.

Profiting With Blogs
By Roger C. Parker
How to Profit From a Blog
Blogs permit you to quickly and easily communicate with your market at very low cost. A blog is a low cost tool that
permits you to add, remove, and update online content without knowing anything about web programming or html.
Blogs complement, rather than replace, your website, e-mail, and One-Page Newsletter. You can use your blog to promote
your other communications, and vice-versa.
Easy, fast, and cheap
Blogs are easy to update because you enter information in forms. These are automatically formatted as you upload them,
saving time and effort.
Since blogs are easy to update and new information immediately appears, you don’t have to wait until your next e-mail
or newsletter to update information or announce new website content.
Hosting for blogs is often free, or you can pay less than $15.00 a month for multiple blogs from a top provider.
Characteristics
A blog consists of numerous, short posts—or mini-articles—each containing as few as two or three sentences. Each post
focuses on a single idea.
Links are an important part of blogs. Links permit readers to quickly access other locations for more information.
Blogs are interactive; most encourage readers to submit comments or alternate viewpoints on each post.
Readers can subscribe to RSS—Real Simple Syndication—which notifies them each time you post new information.
Tips for developing content
Blogs permit you to promote your expertise by relating it to current events and trends. This provides you with an
opportunity to promote your knowledge of your field without "bragging."
Other ways to profit from blogs include:
• Drive web site traffic. Use blogs to point to updated web content. Otherwise, new content might only be seen by
first-time visitors attracted by search engine marketing and optimization.
• Promote existing content. Blogs permit you to comment on current events from the perspective of previous books,
newsletters, or website content. This breathes new life into existing content.
• Promote upcoming events. Blogs make it easy for those who don’t know html to easily update their event calender.
• Frequent, non-intrusive updates. Blogs avoid many of the problems associated with e-mail, such as filled in-boxes
and spam filters. Blogs make it possible to keep in touch without wearing out your welcome.
• Learn from your market. Blogs invite reader comments. These permit you to "test-market" new products or find out
what your market thinks about current products and services.
Getting started
The easiest way to get started is to visit www.blogger.com or www.typepad.com. Both contain a simple "3 steps to
success" process that helps you publish your first blog within five or ten minutes after you arrive at either site.
Costs are surprisingly inexpensive. Blogger, a part of www.google.com, is a free service. Typepad is free for the
first 30 days, less than $15.00 a month thereafter. Best of all, you usually don’t have to pay a penny for design or
production costs. Both Blogger and Typepad offer dozens of templates, which you can customize by changing colors,
layout, or type.
What about content?
Start by taking an inventory of currently available newsletters, special reports, and web site content. Look for
content you can use to create an information archive blog, like www.rcpmarketing.info.
Can you extract tips from previous content, so you can create a tips blog, like www.rcpdesign.info or www.rcpwebblog.
info? If you often speak at events, conduct workshops, or host teleseminars, create a calendar blog like www.
rcpevents.info.
Why not create a commentary blog focusing on an single aspect of your expertise, like www.rcpnewsletters.info, or a
book review blog?
Because they are so easy and inexpensive, you may want to consider multiple blogs for different markets you serve—or
want to serve.
